Features: In recent years, the development of wireless communications, automotive electronics, and defense electronics has led to a rapid growth in the demand for high-frequency systems in the electronics industry. In line with the continuous advancement of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC), new materials and processes for hybrid microwave integrated circuits (HMIC) have also seen significant progress. This book first provides a brief introduction to the basic concepts of RF and microwave technology, comparing the characteristics of MMIC and HMIC, and explaining the "waveguide" structure of transmission lines and hybrid circuit processes as fundamental components of RF and microwave systems. Then, from the perspective of RF and microwave applications, it discusses the basic materials (conductors, dielectrics, and substrates) and their properties, including their impact on impedance and high-frequency circuit performance. Finally, it explores various applicable processes for hybrid microwave integrated circuits.
